Avon Calling

Avon has been around for forever, or so it seems to me anyway. Every once in a while I think about selling Avon, but have yet to actually give it a try. So, when I came across these interviews of women that do sell Avon, I thought I'd share them here for inspiration purposes . And if you feel inspired and want to check out Avon as a work from home possibility, there is a link at the bottom of the post that will take you directly to their online application.

Sue Mazza, 48, Naperville, Illinois

Former career: Advertising sales
New title: Senior Executive Unit Leader (oversees 600 reps) and a Certified Beauty Adviser Trainer for Avon

Q. You used to work in advertising. What made you want to change careers?
A. When I had my second daughter, I realized that the cost of childcare was going to be outrageous, and I wanted to be able to stay at home with my children and still find a way to bring in income.

Q. Why Avon?
A. I chose Avon because it's the number one company in the world for women. We do so much to advance women's causes, from raising money for breast cancer research to fighting domestic violence. And it has such a strong leadership role for women in the company, from corporate employees all the way down to Avon district managers.

Q. How has this career changed your life?
A. I earn as much money now, or more, than I did when I was working full-time for somebody else. But I'm my own boss and I control my schedule. So after this [interview] I'm going shopping. I've had three appointments this morning and countless phone calls. But I'm able to, as my own boss, say okay, you can have the afternoon off to go shopping. And I'm able to give back to the community because I have time and money to do those things. It's something that's allowed me to change the lives of other women as well as my own.
Lisa Wilber, 43, Weare, New Hampshire

Former career: Convenience store clerk; secretary
New title: Senior Executive Unit Leader (oversees 2,000 reps) for Avon

Q. You used to work as a secretary. What made you change careers?
A. Actually it was my second career change. I worked third shift in a convenience store before getting the secretary job, and I thought that was my big break: to be a secretary. What made me change careers wasn't anything more than desperation. I got laid off my job in 1987 because of a company downsizing, and I couldn't find another company to hire me. I couldn't even get hired by a temp agency, because I didn't type fast enough. I cried for a week. My husband at the time said, 'Why don't you try to do more with that Avon thing that you've been playing with?' So I began researching it and decided that I needed to earn my first trip so that I could meet the other full-time people. And once I went on my first Avon trip and met the other people that were earning big money, that was it for me.

Q. How has your new career changed your life?
A. Oh, are you kidding? When I was a secretary, I lived in a trailer park, drove a Yugo, was eating macaroni all the time, was getting my electric shut off. And now, I'm a millionaire. And I just am stunned. I get to do really wild things. In September I got to go to England with Avon and speak at the convention in Birmingham, and they treated me like a rock star. I got first class tickets over there, they put me up in a suite, and I spoke for 10 minutes and got a standing ovation. I mean, where does that happen in real life? It's a fabulous life, and to come from working third shift in a convenience store to having so many things that I get to experience -- it's just unbelievable that this could have happened.

Q. What advice would you give to other women who are in the same shoes that you used to be in?
A. I have such devotion and admiration for the company, but I want to say that it's people, individually, and their belief in themselves that's going to make them successful.

Home Business Inspiration .... Organic Meal Delivery

Home Meal Delivery is an idea that is not new. There are lots of gourmet food delivery companies that deliver nationwide that can easily be found on the Internet. But putting a different spin on meal delivery can help create a home business for a serious cooking/chef entrepeneur. A local home made meal delivery service/personal chef business can be much more attractive to busy moms than a service located in another state that offers delivery of frozen entrees nationwide.
Three Potato Four is an organic meal delivery service that is based in San Francisco. This company is unique in that not only are all the meals prepared with organic ingredients, but their meal delivery system is all green as well. Instead of using platic or styrofoam containers, they use reusable glassware to deliver their meals in.
Every week a full menu of delicious (sounds yummy anyway!)meals for the week are delivered to customer's doors. The glassware from previous deliveries is collected at the time a new delivery is made.

A small scale local personal chef/meal delivery service could be something to think about if you are looking for a home business to start this year, and you love cooking and all things food!

For some inspiration, check out Three Potato Four!

Secrets to Becoming Rich

Yea! Just what I have always wanted to know! David Bach, one of the country's leading financial experts, was on The Oprah Winfrey Show, sharing some secrets and tips to becoming rich. If you missed the show, don't worry! You can read the advice David had to share on Oprah's website, and it is pretty interesting. The first secret is to Always Pay Yourself First, no matter what! Even if you are living paycheck to paycheck, —take at the very least the first hour of income that you earn during the day for yourself. You can legally pay yourself first—before the government—by putting that money into a pre-tax retirement account. Good stuff! And there's a lot more...like how to make your child a millionaire!

So pour one more cup of coffee, and read on!

Starting A Home-Based Business....... Some Inspiration

Ok--here is another inspiring story for aspiring entrepeneurs! You know I cannot get enough of successful work at home stories, and I have found another to share here. Get your coffee/tea/soda/drink of choice, and take a moment to read about these two moms who created a business from home. After you read their story, check out all the cute stuff T-shirts on their site!

Enjoy!

Starting A Home Business As A Children's Etiquette Coach

You probably don't have to be an Emily Post to start this type of a home-based business, but you certainly could use some of her tips and ideas! Good manners, etiquette, and kids don't seem to always go together...ay least in my house they don't! But what a fun idea this could be for a home business. Just think of the smiles you could put on parents' faces as they see their young child behaving politely and respectfully in social settings!

Such instruction is essential, say experts, for a generation raised on Bart Simpson and Britney Spears. "Kids are being encouraged by pop culture to be disrespectful and self-destructive, and their parents are frightened and looking for help," says Diane Diehl, whose quarterly Petite Protocol classes at the swank Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles last four hours and cost $250 a session.

Polite Is Right is an etiquette and manners program started by Denise Honaker in 2000. "When a lot of parents see how their kids interact with playmates and other adults, they're horrified," says Denise. Her successful business has boosted the self-esteem and confidence of hundreds of children. A work at home opportunity is actually available through Polite is Right-- You can apply to be an Etiquette Instructor with the company. Potential instructors need to clear a background check, and if their application is approved, an Instructor will then go through a training program before teaching their own class.

But if you are feeling that you would rather venture out on your own Etiquette Training Business For Children, then do some reading and researching. Study other similiar programs, such as Honaker's, and PoliteChild, another etiquette program started by Corrine Gregory in 2001. Her firm, based in Woodinville, Wash., began in 2001 as an after-school program and is now a national enterprise with 2,000 alumni. Gregory's pupils are taught to mind their p's and q's and remember their three c's: caring, compassion and consideration.

You might want to do some homework on sites such as The Emily Post Institute, and reading books on etiquette and children such as, The Guide To Good Manners For Kids, by Peggy Post and Cindy Post, ED.

Think about starting your business in conjunction with your local community or recreation center, if they do not already offer such a course. You will probably have to work out a split of the revenues with the center, but the plus side to this idea is that you'll have access to the recreation center’s membership base for promotional purposes.

Good Manners could mean Good Business for those with an inner "Emily Post"!!
